The Pixies: Band Analysis

415 Words2 Pages

The Pixies are one of my favorite bands. There songs speak to me in ways that other bands songs can’t. They may not be one of the most well-known bands but they inspired a lot of well-known bands such as Nirvana, U2, Weezer, and many more. I first discovered the pixies after the second time I watched fight club which was earlier this year towards the end of my junior year. The first time I watched fight club I was around 10. At the end of fight club the song “Where Is My Mind” plays which is one of my favorite songs now. It represents my state of mind most of the time where I feel like I’m in a dream world.

I first listened to the album on which the song is on called Surfer Rosa. This was also during the time that I was full swing into trying to discover as much music as I could to expand my musical horizons. I decided I would listen to all there albums with the original lineup in it. I started with their debut album Come on Pilgrim which had the songs “Caribou” and “Vamos”. I enjoy “Caribou” because of it sounds like he’s singing for someone. I enjoy “Vamos” because of the absurdity of this white guy singing Spanish perfectly. I then listened to Surfer Rosa which has some great songs like “Gigantic” which is popular in a lot of commercials and it also has one of my favorite songs “Where Is My Mind” like I said earlier. I then listened to Doolittle where I loved the songs “Hey” and “Monkey Gone to Heaven”. I love “Hey’ because of the angst in it. I love “Monkey Gone to Heaven” because of the relaxation in it. I then listened to

One of my favorite lyrics of the song was. “The sound of her laughter will sing in your dreams. Some enchanted evening When you find your true love, When you feel her call you Across a crowded room, Then fly to her side, And make her your own For all through your life you May dream all alone.” The song in general is a beautiful song that talks about love.

I have listen to countless different genres of music throughout my life. What kind of music I listen to can change dramatically, for example, I can be listening to country for a month then start listening to heavy metal rock the next. Most of the time my mood controls the type of music I listen to or what I am doing. If I am playing sports I like to listen to music that pumps me up, but when I am driving in my car it could vary depending on how my day has went. The two genre that I have always listen to are pop and rock; to me these two genres can get me into my feels.

Especially when he sings “for once in my life”, his singing becomes close to a whisper and it is long and drawn out, which leads listeners to believe that the singer is ashamed. He then goes into the lines “It’s gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference, gonna make it right” (stanza 1, lines 3-4), which means that he wants to make up for all the times he has disregarded those who may be suffering. He feels almost guilty, so it will feel good to get rid of that burden and to

Another great song is “Fok Julle Naaiers” by Die Antwoord. The song is sung in Afrikaans. Die Antwoord has ridiculous beats and crazy rhymes. At some points in the song ,the singer’s voice is simultaneously adorable and strangely menacing. The transition is quite impressive because the singer alternates without losing the grit of her message.

Everybody has different musical taste and reasons of why they like it and even though, all songs are very different from each other, what they all have in common is that they make people feel something. The reason for this is the significance we give to the lyrics or the memories they hold for us. Occasionally, songs tend to have a much deeper meaning than it might seem and this song is not the exception. The Way You Look Tonight by Frank Sinatra is my favorite song because of its theme, the lyrics, and what it means to me.
